Rumor has it Morgan Freeman is set to marry his step-granddaughter. Reports the 74-year-old is in a romantic relationship with 27-year-old E’Dena Hines aren’t exactly new, but apparently the plans for a wedding are now moving forward.

Before I get carried away with the 8,000 ways this is wrong, let me say this: I tried to find a way to justify Morgan Freeman and E’Dena Hines’ love being acceptable. “People are in May-December relationships all the time that don’t appeal to me,” I thought. “It’s his step-granddaughter. They’re hardly related and probably didn’t even know each other before she was an adult.”

You see, E’Dena Hines is not just coincidentally Morgan Freeman’s step-granddaughter, she was raised by him…and his wife. This is the ick factor, for me.

E’Dena is the granddaughter of Jeanette Adair Bradshaw, Morgan’s first wife, but she was raised by Morgan and Myrna (his second wife) since she was a small child. E’Dena’s mother, Deena, was adopted by Morgan during his first marriage.

Myrna separated from Morgan in 2007 after 23 years of marriage. Rumor has it the actor and E’Dena have been having an affair for a decade (she’s 27 now, remember, go ahead and do the math). Their relationship is allegedly the cause of end of the divorce, which was finalized in late 2010.

I’ll go ahead and use the words “alleged” and “reported” a few more times, because it should be clear that none of this has ever been proven or admitted to. It’s also never been denied. Make of that what you will.

Should the rumors end up being true, I’ve made up my mind. I tried to give the unusual relationship a chance to carry-on without turning my stomach, but when it came about that Morgan Freeman and his wife raised E’Dena from a young age I threw in the towel.

Some things are just not OK, and The Shawshank Redemption will never be the same for me. Sigh.
What do you think of Morgan Freeman’s alleged plans to marry his step-granddaughter?

Um NO! It’s not the age it’s all the other stuff. And if Morgan adopted her mother legally she isn’t even a step. She’s not connected by blood but that would be like my dad marrying the future daughter of my adopted sister…..legally she is his actual grandaughter.

I really liked him…until I read this. Many movies will never be the same for me, curse my decision to get on BC tonight, lol. I hate hearing about star’s personal lives…it has ruined many a person and their works for me.

Add me to the list of people wishing she had not read this. He was always one of my favorite actors, and now, ugh! Last time I felt this way it was because I read that Sean Connery said it was okay to hit a woman. I don’t have many Hollywood favorites, and this is why.

Ohhh myyy Godddd. I’m with Julius: I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy his work after this, and I was a huge fan. I can’t name a single Morgan Freeman film I don’t like.

Say it ain’t so Morgan, say it ain’t so! This reminds me of that whole Woody Allen adopted daughter thing… Welp, there goes another one. Time to scratch him off my list.

Even if I were 27 years old, my Mom would slap some sense into me…& then slap me into the next week.

Has anybody seen that Geico commercial with the three teens girls? The ones that say, “Ewwww. Gross. That’s so disgusting.” I think they were talking to Morgan Freeman.

Definitely gross and wrong! This is one of the few times I’m willing to be unashamedly judgmental.

Definite ick factor. And I love me some Morgan Freeman. This just makes me sad. And a little queasy.

Wait…what? I thought for sure it meant he was going to officiate her wedding…like he would marry her and her fiance. OMG. I feel the need to take a toothbrush to my eye-balls now, in hopes that I can scrub this info away.

Hey guys, guys guys. Instead of believing absolutely everything you read, maybe google it up a bit more before jumping on a specific bandwagon. I know its a case of he says vs she says but really stop to think before you pass judgment? for a baby site, I dont know…maybe you should keep to baby topics…

It’s sad that you can brush off a person just because of one lie. I would never want that to happen to me.

To me – this is incestuous! No doubt, some great “blow jobs” are performed – so he can get it up!
